AeroShield specializes in the production of a super-insulating, nanoporous glass material designed for energy-efficient windows. This innovative material, made from silica aerogel, provides optical clarity akin to traditional glass while delivering insulation performance that is 50% superior to standard windows. By integrating AeroShield's technology between two glass panes, manufacturers can significantly enhance the thermal efficiency of their products. Additionally, the payback period for AeroShield-enhanced windows is up to five times faster than that of comparable high-performance windows, making it an attractive option for both manufacturers and consumers. This focus on sustainability and energy efficiency supports industry compliance goals and improves overall product performance.

Kwiksulate offers an innovative foam insulation system that enables users to dispense spray foam as needed. The system features a handheld dispenser that utilizes a magazine filled with foam precursors, allowing for precise application. This design not only helps users minimize waste but also reduces expenditures compared to traditional insulation methods. The foam precursors are housed in flexible bags, which occupy less space when disposed of, making the entire system more efficient and environmentally friendly. Additionally, the fundamental architecture of Kwiksulate's product has the potential for broader applications across various fields, further enhancing its value proposition.

Building Envelope Materials focuses on creating efficient solutions to minimize thermal energy consumption in buildings. Established in 2014 following a grant from the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center, the company pioneered a method to inject highly insulating closed-cell polyurethane foam into poorly insulated wall cavities. Their innovative pinhole insulation technology allows for insulation of an entire wall through a single small opening, significantly enhancing insulation values from R10 to R23 and achieving energy savings of 25% or more. This technology is not limited to walls; it is being adapted for use in cathedral ceilings, dormer roofs, and flat roofs. Additionally, the company is working on developing safer alternatives to traditional spray foam for various construction applications. When fully implemented, this pinhole insulation system can substantially exceed the energy savings provided by conventional weatherization methods.
